Swimming

The girls just finished swimming lessons this past week. I have been so impressed with the progress they have made! I'm not sure if it is the maturity of the girls or the teaching technique of the teacher that has made such a difference this year? Makell absolutely loves the water! Her teacher Kalie gave her the nickname of "little fish." If the other kids were struggling to get their dive toy, Makell would volunteer to get it for them. The majority of the lessons were spent under the water. :) She loved doing star fish floats. I was amazed at how long she can float for! Kaitlyn did awesome! Her self confidence has soared by leaps and bounds! She loved having races with Kourtney to see who could swim the length of the pool the fastest! Kourtney is amazing! I loved watching her gracefulness as she would swim laps in the pool. Her teacher really worked on the breathing technique with her and she had it down in no time! Adam and I laugh because our kids swim better than we do! We felt reassured by our kids when they told us that if we were ever in trouble while swimming, they could save us! :)
